    Metatranscriptome analysis pipeline

    Hello there!
    I've just started analysing bacterial metatranscriptome Illumina data. I'm a bit confused on the pipeline to follow. That's what I did:
    -I used FastQC to have a general overview of my sequences quality, then I removed the adaptors using the FastX toolkit;
    -I assembled the data using Velvet and then Oases, obtaining a file with transcripts.
    Now I'm not sure about how going on... I thought to use BLAST for annotation and then mapping the files from each sample individually to the assembled transcriptome using BWA... But then I don't know how proceed... I'd like to have something like this:
    GeneID SampleID1 SampleID2 .......

    gene1 %abundance %abund
    gene2 %abund %abund
    ....
    Then use this table to build some of those awesome plots like heatmaps...
    Is there a software that produce an output like this?? Then, does anyone have comments/suggestions on the workflow I used?
    Thanks a lot

    You should read the tutorials in the khmer documentation, and then make use of the khmer scripts.

    Briefly, you do your read trimming and adapter removal, then you perform digital normalisation to reduce the redundancy in your read set, then you partition the de-brujn graph to separate out different organisms, and then you do the assembly.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
